Every now and then I love to change up my routine with some new products that make life just a little easier – or prettier. I’m always eager to see what P&G beauty has in store; with so many different brands on their roster, they’re constantly putting out new skincare, body & personal care options that I can’t wait to try out!

Today I’m sharing a few of my new favourites – have you tried any of these?

The new launch that I was most excited about this season is the Crest 3D White Whitestrips with Light. Crest has decided to take things a step further this season and have included a light that helps to increase and improve the strength of the white strips. The blue light technology they’re using is the best available over-the-counter right now. I’ve just started using these and can’t wait to see the results – white teeth for Christmas parties? Yes, please.

I’ve been loving the Gilette Venus Comfortglide Razor. I actually brought this down to Costa Rica with me because bathing suits were my every day clothing and hair legs/pits are not a good look for me. The awesome razor has been surrounded by moisture bars that containing body butter which means softer skin and a more comfortable shave.

I freaking LOVE the Pantene Pro-V 3-Minute Miracle Daily Moisture Renewal treatment. Whenever I’m having a bad hair day, I like to through this on. It seriously only takes 3 minutes to work its magic, and afterwards, you’re left with smooth, soft and silky hair. This came in especially handy while on my trip – between the sun, the wind and the saltwater, my hair constantly needed a treat to restore itself.

Spray deodorants have never really been on my radar, but I decided to give the Secret Fresh Invisible Spray in Ooh La Lavender a try. This spray is really quick drying, long-lasting and doesn’t leave behind any white residue. It keeps me feeling fresh all day, and I really love the fresh lavender scent.

Have you given any of these a try yet?

Oh winter – between the cold, frosty weather (which we have yet to be hit with in Toronto) and the craziness of the holidays, it’s definitely time to amp up your beauty routine! Of course, this means a combination of finding the perfect holiday beauty matches, taking care of your skin and hair, and treating yourself a little!

I wanted to share some of my favourite P&G Beauty United items to get me through the season – they all fit perfectly into my routine and let me feel my best throughout the holidays:

COVERGIRL Outlast Longwear Lipstick in Red Rogue – I’m ALL about the red lip for the holidays – the bolder the better! And of course, if it doesn’t last long, it’s just not going to work… especially during holiday parties! This gorgeous red is packed with colour, moisturizing (no one wants a flaky red) and has a great, long-lasting wear.

Pantene Airspray – When I’m constantly heat styling my hair through the holidays, the last thing I need is to dry my hair out even further, which is why I’m so happy Pantene’s new hairspray is alcohol free! IT avoids the crunchy, stiff feel that often comes with hairspray, and leaves my hair with flexible, touchable hold.

Olay Regerist Luminous Facial Oil – Not so breaking news: my skin likes to dry right out during the winter. A combination of nine enriched natural oils helps to keep my skin hydrated and glowing, without looking greasy.

COVERGIRL Eye Shadows Quad in Go For The Golds – I love a good dose of shimmer & sparkle during the holidays (well, really, all year around… it’s just easier to pack it on this time of year) and this beautiful quad helps me to highlight & add a healthy dose to my lids!

Crest White® Whitestrips Luxe Supreme FlexFit – It’s no secret that the holidays mean plenty of photos, which means plenty of smiling… Which means teeth have gotta be ready to go! These white strips promise professional results and use FlexFit technology for better fit on your teeth.

Now, of course, I would love to help one of you get ready for the holidays, so my friends at P&G are going to hook one luck winner up with a set of 10 products ($170 value) guaranteed to help you survive the season!

I have some exciting news to share with you! I, along with 29 other amazing bloggers from across the country, have become a part of a new program called P&G Beauty United. What does this mean? We’re going to be acting as blogger ambassadors for P&G Beauty. I’ll be getting exclusive access to info on their brands (CoverGirl, Olay, Pantene, Clairol, Vidal Sassoon, Crest, Herbal Essences, Venus, Secret and Fekkai) and ambassadors, which also means that you will be among the first to hear exciting news on products and other info from the P&G Beauty network – I promise, when I hear about it you’ll hear about it!

A few weeks back we were all invited to the Trump Toronto for the launch of the Beauty United program. I got to catch up with some of my fave Toronto bloggers and had a chance to meet some out of town bloggers which was amazing. We also got to chat with some of P&G’s beauty experts to learn the science behind some of their products and had previews of some fall hair and beauty trends from P&G ambassadors Denis Binet, Amelie Ducharme, Justin German and Greg Wencel, as seen below. I love the burgundy metallic smokey eye and the big, carefree hair we were shown – I can’t wait to try to recreate these.

I also got to take home a great selection of P&G Beauty products – I’ll be sure to share my favourites in the coming weeks, so make sure you check back to learn more about them!
